Reactions of sulfites with secondary amines 1. Diphenyl and alkyl phenyl sulfites

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02495565

The interaction or diethylamine and morpholine with diphenyl, methyl phenyl, ethyl phenyl, and isopropyl phenyl sulfites was studied. It was established that two reactions, substitution and alkylation, can occur in parallel. Diphenyl sulfites react with amines to give only substitution products, while other sulfites react with substitution at the sulfur atom and with alkylation of the amines.
